YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Donald Trump is redeploying federal forces in ways rarely seen before, expanding the military’s role and sending heavily armed agents deep into US cities. The Coast Guard is joining federal forces along the southern border with Mexico to seal off illegal immigration.

Coast Guard gunboats that usually ply coastal waters now patrol the Rio Grande in Texas; Border Patrol agents yanked from the frontier are arresting immigrants in Chicago and now Charlotte, North Carolina, where officials reported dozens of apprehensions over the weekend; and Naval ships are being rerouted to the Caribbean to blow up suspected drug-smuggling boats and boost pressure on Venezuela, one of the biggest sources of migrants to the US over the past few years.

Bloomberg's Alicia Caldwell reports from Mission, Texas along the Rio Grande.
